In this portion we are told that theKohain Priest

Can mourn close relatives when they

pass on

 

And the end of the portion reviews allthe joyous festivals

Of the Israelite peoples ( us   )

 

This Sunday the holiday of Lag B Omerfalls out on Mothers Day

 

On Lag B Omer we celebrate - 

   not mourn -   the day of Going to Heaven of

 

The Great Spiritual Master Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.

 

While my own MOM passed away many years ago

And the yahrzeit of my DAD is coming up soon

 

I must remember with happiness all their good and help and love.

 

So too did the Great Masters leave us with great love and a Power of the Torah

 

We are ALL tied togetber on this earth

or by the negativiy that the evil in

the world uses to

Bring our spirits low

 

the Closeness of our Moms and

On Shabbat

On Lag B Omer and

Mothers Day

 

Shabbat Shalom
